Nuns Are Out to Get Katy Perry

Katy Perry recently made a $14.5 million deal to purchase a hilltop property that was once the convent of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. But the sisters had their own sale pending to a restaurateur for $15.5 million. Things are getting messy as the archbishop argues with the sisters over who actually has the right to sell the property. Perry even made a personal bid to be the new owner, meeting with the sisters and singing the gospel tune “Oh Happy Day” to them. The sisters were not impressed. “Our days have not been happy since then, I can assure you.” said Sister Rita Callanan. “We have already entered and accepted the offer from Miss Perry. The Archbishop has made a promise to care for the sisters, and we want to do what’s best for them.” A spokesperson for the archdiocese said. “God help us, we are going to fight this!” said Sister Callahan. The holy battle wages on! Get more here.
